Once I was fed and full, the medicine's effect wasn't as strong as before, and I could feel my face flush in embarrassment at how I had acted with Dimitri. I walked beside him slowly towards my room, the sun was raising high in the sky and I was exhausted.
"I will send someone to go get your prescription so you will have it when you wake up," he said as he opened the door to my room for me.
I saluted him before closing my door and flopped down onto my bed, staring up at the ceiling. What the hell am I going to do…? I'm falling for my Guardian, my trainer, a teacher practically. I shook my head, what have I gotten myself into? _
A few weeks passed and Halloween was in three days, Lissa couldn't stop talking about the big Halloween dance the school would be having and I couldn't stop rolling my eyes about it. She always became overly excited about things like this when I just knew that they'd be lame and over-chaperoned.
"Can we please go look at costumes? I'm sure my parents could get Kirova to get us passes to go out into town, please please please!"
"If it gives us the chance to get out of St. Vlad's then fuck yes."
She squealed and clapped her hands, "Thank you thank you thank you!" she said before she hugged me tight.
"Yeah yeah, let's call your parents and get those passes."
It turns out Kirova is the Dragomir's bitch, she agreed without any objections and soon we were off with Dimitri between me and Lissa in the car and another guardian whose name I couldn't remember in the passenger seat and Alberta driving. I chuckled at Dimitri sitting in the smallest seat in the back of the Escalade; it was also the highest seat, making his head hit the ceiling with every small bump. Lissa was grinning and I tried to hold in my laughter, but completely lost it when we hit a big bump turning into the mall.
Dimitri glared at me but I could tell that he was fighting a smile himself, so I just took a deep breath and stared straight ahead, smiling and playing with my hands. Before we got off the Escalade I put my hair into a messy bun and climbed out. I straightened my black and white striped dress shirt and navy blue cardigan and walked around the car to link arms with Lissa, our knee high riding boots clicking against the wet pavement in sync.
Lissa headed straight towards the sexy outfits when we walked into the costume shop, of course. I sighed and looked around with her, but then a costume caught my eye. It was a sexy sailor costume. I couldn't stop staring at it and when I looked at Lissa and rose my eyebrows her eyes went wide and she started squealing.
"Yes, yes, yes! You have to try it on!"
"No! I was... I was joking!"
She smiled wide, "Liar! Go!"
She shoved the costume into my hand and I groaned and walked into the dressing room. I looked at myself in the mirror with my bra and panties and realized my body was way more toned after weeks of training with Dimitri; I could totally be counted as sexy.
I slid on the navy blue dress that was unbelievably short and looked at the mirror, damn, it fit like a glove and I looked sexy. It pushed up my boobs so I had some cleave, but there was a nautical striped piece of fabric covering up the most revealing of my cleavage. Pairs of gold buttons went down the bodice and were met with an actual rope type of belt, which had a gold anchor hanging from it, then a mini navy blue skirt that had gold lining below it. It barely covered my butt and I smiled, I looked unbelievably sexy. I took off my riding boots and slid on the white stockings, lined with lace that went up to mid thigh, leaving a few inches of skin showing (yes, my skirt was that short.) I called Lissa's name and walked out sexily, trying hard not to laugh and then spinning around, stopping dead in my tracks when I realized it wasn't Lissa standing there, but Dimitri.
His face was flushed with red and his eyes looked different, darker than I've ever seen them.
"Sorry, Dimitri…" I said, uncertain if I should be sorry or not.
He just shook his head and clenched his teeth. Thankfully, Lissa walked into the hall of the dressing room and whistled.
"Damn girl, you are so getting that!"
I laughed and shook my head, "No way."
"You look so sexy! Seriously, Aleksander is gonna want to…" she looked over at an uncomfortable Dimitri. "Umm... I mean… It's perfect for the costume party."
I nodded and shrugged, biting my bottom lip and looking from her to Dimitri, "I will get it."
She squealed and I rolled my eyes, once again, "You're such a squealer, Liss."
She laughed and hugged me, then went into my dressing room and changed into her costume, she was going to be a sexy gangster girl. I laughed my butt off when she put on her costume. She looked sexy, but she was the opposite of gangster. When I told her she chuckled as she slipped on her fedora.
"Well, a sexy, cute sailor girl is the opposite of you, you're feisty and sexy, not cute and sexy."
I threw my stockings at her as I changed and put on my clothes, thinking of how Dimitri was looking at me—it made my knees shake.
